It's not the blood and gore that we can't handle. It's the psychological manipulation. They're using the same psychological tricks that Trump used, that Colgate uses. That every advertiser uses. But now it's war. This is the new war: the war for the mind of man itself.
- remotehack 9y agoAre you equating a fair American Presidential campaign to people who cut people's heads off and record it?
- killjoywashere 9y agoNo. They are as different as can be. But there are many kinds of different. Some are better than others. And neither of those are good.
- SCHiM 9y agoThat's all the more reason to harden it, not to weaken our collective defences. If you accept my stance that repeated exposure leads to resistance/strengthening of your mental barriers. Of course in the case of more subtle manipulation I guess you also have to be aware of the fact that the manipulation is happening. In such a case I imagine one cannot rely on a gradual hardening because exposure alone.
